I've "inherited" an old Lexmark Z11 and would like to plug it in to my CentOS 4 box as a second printer.
After some further investigation I've decided that this is a non-starter; the lz11-V2 installer does some pretty hideous stuff, like renaming the "gs" binary out of the way and replacing it with a perl wrapper. As if I would never use ghostscript for anything else?
So the alternate plan is to print from a vmware windows machine. Trouble is I want to run vmware as a normal user, not as root, which means vmware can't open the parallel port. Is there anything I should know, possibly something SElinux related, before simply putting the vmware user into the "lp" group so that it can access the port?
